Code For Sustainable Homes

Although it is no longer requested by Local Planning Authorities, Code for Sustainable Homes Assessments will still need to be completed on sites where it was included as a planning condition and the planning application was made in England before 26th March 2015.

How Energist can help

Code for Sustainable Homes was a credits-based assessment introduced in England and Wales, which was designed to push developers into meeting even tougher energy and sustainability standards. Although the scheme ended in 2015, any developments in England that submitted a planning application prior to 26th March 2015, and had Code For Sustainable Homes (CSH) included as a planning condition, are still required to complete the assessment.

Despite the fact that CSH is no longer requested, we still work with many developers who need to complete this legacy assessment on their current site. Our team of specialist assessors are extremely familiar with the requirements of this assessment and will identify the most cost-effective and appropriate credits to aim for.

Code for Sustainable Homes is a complicated assessment and evidence must be collected from various sources as the building work progresses, which is why it is best to instruct a Code for Sustainable Homes assessor as soon as possible.
